werent we promised to get a name reveal before 2025 ends?

or did i somehow just assume that ha

Snookies12142d ago

Pretty sure they meant they were going to decide on the name internally before 2026. I don't think they meant they were going to publicly reveal the name.

Cacabunga140d ago

I hated Rebirth for the amount of mini games.
Remake had a good dose of mini games but the sequel had just too many and they’re all stupid.

TheColbertinator141d ago

If the minigames don't clog up too much of the game, then good.

Kurisu141d ago

Meanwhile I'm over here hoping we get a full on SSX 3 style mini game implemented for the Icicle Inn section haha.

fr0sty141d ago

They balanced it pretty good last time, as well as in the original. As long as long grinds through mini games are not required to progress, and beating them is only to score a rare item or something, I welcome it.

jambola141d ago

Hell yeah
forget the whiners and enjoy some mini games
good to hear

Levii_92141d ago

You enjoy meaningless slop and bloat in your games that can stop the pacing in it’s tracks and also is just there so it can pad out the lenght of the game? I don’t.. and i hated Rebirth for that. It has many other problems too. I want strong focus and structure in my games not some lose and goofy Shenmue or Yakuza shit. Also i want the story to finally start making sense.

MrNinosan140d ago

The total forced time with minigames in Rebirth is less than 15 minutes. You couldn't handle that?

jambola140d ago

lmaoo
I'm sure the handfull of 5 minute (if even) mini games is really padding out this game with like 6 massive open sections and a 50 hour story

TheDreamCorridor140d ago

Only experienced the first two acts of the story: "Aye, dis don't make no sense maaaayyyyneee."

Goodguy01141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

Coming soon for square means 2+ years lol. Minigames need to stay minimal and not too heavily relied on for amazing gear. Exception is an arena mode which rebirth+remake did have and my most favorite.

jambola140d ago

nah go back to the good old days
have some silly difficult shit that you need for a weapon upgrade
not everything has to be available to everybody

Masterman97141d ago

Excellent. Just what I wanted, more crap minigames with poor controls.
Finally, this overrated series will come to an end with this.

jambola140d ago

just admit you suck :)
most of us never had an issue with controls

andy85140d ago (Edited 140d ago )

Dont play them? You could play every necessary minigame in under half an hour. Not bad for a 50+ hour game. People forget OG FF7 was absolutely littered with them and that was far shorter

CrimsonWing69139d ago

God forbid they sprinkle in some variety, which a majority of the mini-games were optional, and what mini-game had bad controls?

My most anticipated game , Rebirth has one of my favorite combat systems of all time and is one of the only games that really made me feel like I'm playing a next gen game this generation .

To me the FF7 Remake series is like the Evangelion Rebuild series and I love those , a retelling and also a continuation of what came before without invalidating them . I hope it does a complete Rebuild 2.0 ending and goes almost completely off the rails from the Og anime lol like I wanna know more about Jenova and the greater universe !!!

VenomUK172d ago

If they have any sense they will call it Final Fantasy VII: Chiaroscuro Part 33.

Dexterio173d ago (Edited 173d ago )

This should be renamed to Remagined instead of remake with the countless, drastic changes they made. Still, pretty good games and I can't wait for the 3rd part to be released.

Michiel1989172d ago

well if you wanna be a word nazi, reimagined would mean that it's just a thing in their head and that no one would be able to play it.

Miraak82 172d ago (Edited 172d ago )

I thought it was clever once I got over the initial shock of what I had just experienced with the whispers and realized what the (Remake) title actually implied with a double meaning . The fact that they incorporated aspects of Advent Children, Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus into the lore made me realize these new games are all still apart of the FF7 compilation that started 20 years ago with the OG timeline still connected and everything is all canon which is so cool .

I just think it's a shame that some people can't appreciate what it is and what it's trying to do because it's not what they expected ... and like they say " Expectation is the thief of joy " . To me I spent my first paycheck at 15 to buy a ps1 and ff7 and almost 30 years later I still get to experience this franchise with aww , excitement and wonder !!

andy85172d ago

Im just disappointed they wasted the Reunion title on Crisis Core, it was perfect. Still, no reason it cant still be used. No ones getting confused between the two.

I_am_Batman172d ago

Agreed, Reunion is the best option by far. It fits perfectly.

The_Hooligan172d ago

Maybe the title gets revealed at the VGAs.

gold_drake172d ago

probably revealed at the game awards.

Reduce the number of mini games because episode 2 was utter garbage due to this.

andy85230d ago

The original FF7 had just as many things that were considered minigames they just weren't as fleshed out. People forget this. And most were optional in Rebirth even the card game you didnt have to play once. And it wasnt garbage, far from it.

Chard230d ago

Yeah I don’t get the bloat argument - just stick to the main quest and don’t play the bloat!

Tapani230d ago

I skipped Part II—can’t stand the combat. Even basic enemies take ages, and there are way too many fights. Add in the bloated, pointless side content and painfully asinine writing, and the first remake already felt like a total waste of time.

gold_drake230d ago

to be fair, if u already felt that way about part 1, then its your own fault for even playing part 2.

thats like touching a hot plate and doing it again the next day

nommers230d ago

Did you only play it on dynamic? Because that's the point of that where enemies level up with you. Try playing it on normal.

Tapani229d ago

I said I skipped Part II — didn’t buy it, didn’t play it, didn’t want to. So why am I suddenly on trial for it? Go figure.

S2Killinit230d ago

But you are not required to play them no?

gold_drake230d ago

no one forced you to do sidequests tho lol

Pergele230d ago

Don't know why you are downvoted, but I 100% agree. The game was filled with filler content to just waste your time. Hopefully the third game will be more linear than Rebirth.

Workshyskiver230d ago

Hopefully far less bloat, awful needless changes and we find out Chadley has been killed in between games.

repsahj230d ago (Edited 230d ago )

They should release a Triple pack on launch day. Not just a digital version but also a physical version.

CrimsonWing69230d ago

Once this is done, this trilogy (full experience) will be my Game of All Time. I have still yet to be wowed as much by a game, have so much fun and variety of things to do, and a story that’s extremely layered like this. Not saying there aren’t stories out there with other games, but just in my experience, Remake and Rebirth have hit so many high notes for me throughout my entire time with them. It’s been such an awesome time.

Cannot wait to see the end!!!

CornholioX230d ago

Me too. I loved how the open world was made but that was like 50 to 60% of the complete world shown. We definitely see 100%

enkiduxiv230d ago

I like Hamaguchi. I really do. But I highly doubt that they are going to stick the landing after all the effing around they have done with the original plot. Maybe Nomura and Kitase can let Hamaguchi direct his own game in the future without meddling. I am willing to bet that that game will be much better.

gold_drake230d ago

fucking*

its surprising that people like u are still around.

the og is still around for you to enjoy. i personally love what they've done with the story in remake.

having the same game again was never what i and the devs wanted.

Miraak82 230d ago

I feel they've done great with the story considering all the other FF7 media there is and how they incorporated it in and expanded the world and lore in more ways I could imagine . All that stuff is canon and would've been a waste to disregard them or leave Yuffie or Vincent as optional characters even though they weren't originally supposed to be so . The og7 is still canon in these games so I can enjoy 7r games for what they are . It's kinda like the rebuiild movies with Evangelion .. those last 2 movies made me love that series even more then I thought I could even though they totally devated from the original plot

enkiduxiv229d ago

It’s not surprising at all that people like me are still around. My opinion is just as valid as yours and my 60 dollar vote carries as much weight as yours does.

We never got concrete numbers of Rebirth’s sales, but something tells me that the pivot to multiplatform and the shake up in management are signs that the Remake trilogy was a bad idea. If anything it’s surprising that people like you are still around. There won’t be many of you left when Remake part 3 flops and Square gets liquidated by the Saudis.

gold_drake229d ago

never said it wasnt a valid opinion, just that its surprising.

its true that we didnt get sales numbers, but why u think they didnt? cause people live or die by sales numbers, instead of just enjoying what they've got.

but as u said, its your opinion. amd i dont rly care all too much either way
